The January 6th hearings are the most compulsively watchable congressional hearings in decades. They’re so interesting, relevant, and (relatively) lively that C-SPAN audiences might finally rouse from their slumber, and it’s obvious these are the exact opposite of the snore-inducing Benghazi time-wasters overseen by congress’s version of Inspector Clouseau: Trey Gowdy. The only troubling development…

What if America Actually WAS Split into Two Countries? A “Red” Nation and a “Blue” Nation?
Right below this article, I wrote one asking the question of “Why does Texas keep talking about secession?” and actually answering it instead of standing around scratching my head screaming “the world’s gone crazy” (the default position for most millionaire media pundits). But it isn’t just Texas. Even a brief glance at bot-plagued social media…
Frequently Asked Question: “Why in the Hell do Texas Republicans Keep Talking About Secession?”
Few people know that Alabama Liberal’s first (and best) unpublished manuscript was a speculative fiction spy-drama detailing what would happen if Texas actually did secede from the United States. That was written in early 2011, when then-Texas Governor Rick Perry–not yet moved on to “greater things” like resigning from the Trump administration or “Dancing with…
Despite Whining About “Inflation,” Republicans Actually Want to Make Price Gouging Even Worse
Republicans seem to have a mantra for the 2020 midterm elections: “crime, gas prices, inflation.” Whereas they struggled mightily to make a coherent case against Biden in the 2020 election (“Hunter Biden’s laptop is on a Ukrainian war boat stuffed with cash, cocaine, and child sex slaves. Why won’t the media cover this?”), they appear…
Senate Candidate Herschel Walker Thought There Were 52 States…There Should Be
A lot of people were laughing at Herschel Walker, the man with a gaggle of illegitimate kids and who gets things even basic facts wrong more often than a Fox & Friends broadcast. But those people don’t understand the forward-thinking of a man like Walker. They don’t fully realize that Herschel Walker is a visionary. This…
Republicans are STILL the Party of the Rich (and Trump Only Made that Worse)
I’ve noticed a very strange trend in recent years. It seems Republicans are actively working to brand themselves as the party of the working class since Trump paid token lip service to a few of their concerns like offshoring. Sure, he was a guy that ranted about offshoring jobs, but his own clothing line was…
The Real Reason Elon Musk Wanted Twitter was NOT Good
At this point, it might be doubtful Elon Musk will actually take control of Twitter. After all, most of the employees don’t want him (not that he cares). Most of Twitter’s users don’t want him (not that he cares). The Twitter board surely would prefer to hang onto their salaries (not that he cares). And…
What is the Future of Russia?
A lot of people are wondering what the future of Russia is, and even asking me to pull out my crystal ball and prognosticate it a little bit. And I’ll admit that it is truly a great question. And it largely hinges on the answer to a different question: “Do Russians like being China’s bitch?”…
Mo Brooks, Mo’ Problems
In this video, Alabama Liberal recaps the strange, twist-filled partnership-turned-feud between aspiring-tyrant Donald Trump and one of his chief bootlickers: Mo Brooks…What does the Alabama senate race have to do with rightwing violence, insurrection, conservative white men labeling anything they don’t like as “woke,” and Trump’s spotty record of endorsements (and loyalty)? Watch and find…
Too Extreme or NOT Too Extreme? That is the (Political) Question
America’s Next Top Climate Activist Says America’s Enemies Run on Fossil Fuels
BUT for a more detailed video about how America’s enemies run on fossil fuels, check out this eerily prescient video from 2018 where Alabama Liberal warns that Russia will keep meddling in things as long as it has the oil revenue to do it and jack up gas prices whenever they want to punish the…
Deconstructing DeSantis: What’s He Thinking? IS He Thinking?
In only a few months, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has gone from a relatively obscure, run-of-the-mill heartless red state Governor to being the belligerent tip of the spear for conservative troll nation. He is in the news almost every day, and sometimes several times a week for different things. This is different than most Republican…
10 Reasons April Will Be Much Better than March
Although T.S. Eliot said April was the cruelest month, I’d argue that it’s actually March. It’s long as hell: 31 days, the only non-Summer month with no real holidays, Daylight Savings Time kicks in, most places are cold yet the holidays are long gone, and it just feels like the most uneventful month of the…
